Present and potential future distribution of common vampire bats in the Americas and the associated risk to cattle. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Success of the cattle industry in Latin America is impeded by the common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus, through decreases in milk production and mass gain and increased risk of secondary infection and rabies. We used ecological niche modeling to predict

Influence of Food Distribution and Relatedness on Social Interactions in a Colony of Free‐Ranging Domestic Cats (Felis catus)

Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2025.
In a free‐ranging colony of domestic cats, individuals engaged in affiliative but not agonistic behaviors in a selective manner. The distribution of food resources but not relatedness influenced affiliative interactions between dyads of cats. When food was provided at feeding stations, there was a similar distribution of affiliative interactions among ...

Out in the Open: Investigating Passive Airborne eDNA Detection of Bats at Artificial Feeding Stations

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
This study employs passive air sampling to detect environmental DNA (eDNA) of bats using DNA metabarcoding and a novel qPCR assay for the imperiled tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus). Metabarcoding successfully allowed detection of two bat species in one sample, and qPCR allowed detection of the tricolored bat in two samples, providing a lower bound

Cave‐dwelling bats of Carajás National Forest: New cytogenetic data of threatened species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
The Carajás National Forest, a Conservation Unit protected by law, is one of the few forest remnants in the southeastern region of Pará, Eastern Amazonia, Brazil, reconciling biodiversity protection with economic activities (i.e. mining). The present study aims to describe the chromosomal diversity of bats in natural caves of the Carajás National ...

Genome Mining and Structural Study of Cathelicidins Across Chiroptera Species

Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The authors explored the genomic landscape of bat cathelicidins, critical proteins in the vertebrate innate immune system, across 41 bat species, which are notable for their high microbial tolerance. An array of bioinformatics tools, complemented by manual mining, were used to identify the curated cathelicidin sequences.

Experimental rabies infection in haematophagous bats Desmodus rotundus

Epidemiology and Infection, 2005
In order to determine the susceptibility and serum neutralizing antibody response of Desmodus rotundus to rabies virus, bats were inoculated with a virus isolated from a naturally infected haematophagous bat. Bats were divided into four groups of 10 animals each.

Deforestation and Bovine Rabies Outbreaks in Costa Rica, 1985–2020

Emerging Infectious Diseases
In Latin America, rabies virus has persisted in a cycle between Desmodus rotundus vampire bats and cattle, potentially enhanced by deforestation. We modeled bovine rabies virus outbreaks in Costa Rica relative to land-use indicators and found spatial ...

Raiva bovina no estado de São Paulo e sua distribuição espacial entre 1992 e 2003

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2011
Descreveu-se a influência do relevo, da precipitação, da temperatura e da sazonalidade na distribuição espacial da raiva bovina. Para a realização dessa análise, foi construído um banco geográfico de dados que possibilitou a geração de uma função kernel,
